French Fried Update 3

Woo hoo!

Oh yeah!

Uh- huh!

Lord bless me and sanctify my soul, lol. Does that even make sense?? I only have 10 lbs. to go until I reach my weight loss goal. It is not always easy to go to the gym nor is it always easy to not eat those french fries or have that second piece of cake (I always eat the first piece, duh). And, I believe that God is teaching me something about how to treat my body (because it is His) and how to remain positive. Whether or not you believe remaining healthy is a spiritual issue, I have relaized that much of the way I treated food in the past was an emotional response and an unwillingness to let go of whatever was irking me and give it to God. When I was severely depressed I was malnourished, when I was happy I was gluttonous, for me it was a spiritual issue. And I really think that I am learning my way out of that. So, yay! I am praying that my head remain straight and that I can help others in whatever way I can who have the same emotionally dependence on food.  :) Let me know if I can help or pray for you.

French Fried Update 2

Posted July 29, 2008 By Andrea and has no comments yet.

Just to keep myself accountable….and for anyone that’s interested. Also, when I was in Costa Rica I had 2 orders of french fries. But, in my defense, I had not eaten any the week before that. So, it evens out, right??? 

Ok, so while all is going well I still feel that I am MISSING something. Maybe some dance moves or something that would be fun (and active to try). Please let me know if you have any weight loss tips or fun workouts to try!!!

Total weight loss goal: 23 lbs.

Pounds lost so far: 8

Pounds to go: 15

I have been 8 days without eating a french fry! Woo hoo. Probably means I will indulge later this week, but hey, I did say once a week! So far so good. I am still hitting the gym and making sure I eat some brightly colored natural foods each day! Finally starting to lose some weight and I have lost about 2 inches off my body just this month!

Total weight loss goal: 23 lbs.

Thank you Jesus!!!! Lol.

French Fried Goodness

Posted July 7, 2008 By Andrea and has 3 comments.

 

I am discovering that part of being peaceful is my body image. I am definitely working towards this goal. I have lost about 4 lbs. so far but I know I have gained some muscle and am feeling more energetic. This has been going on right at a month. But I have a problem…it’s called french fries. I know they are bad for you, I know they are full of fat, juicy greasiness that leads to cellulite on my buthighs (the area where some women’s butt and thighs merge together) and possible heart attacks caused by congestive-I-ate-too- much-grease in my lifetime failure. But, I can’t stop. Everywhere you go sells them for the cheap price of $1. Or it comes with your uber healthy no butter on the wheat bun no mayo please grilled chicken sandwich. What are you supposed to do when they know you by name and call out to you from the shiny happy menu??

I do not know. So I continue to work it out, I am doing a solid 30 minutes of cardio a few times a week with some strength training on the side. But, I am afraid that my addiction to these salty potato gems will keep me from reaching my goal. So, I know that I cannot do without. My goal: to eat French fries only once a week. The week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. So, there will be only one day in this period that I can savor in the salty goodness. Please, feel free to ask me about my progress. Remind me, in a shrill sergeant voice, if you see me put a fry in my mouth. Slap my hand if you see me reaching for one on your plate. Hopefully, by November I will have waned the demon inside and lost my goal of 20 lbs. I will let you know how this tactic works. Please pray that I stay motivated and strong. I am sure you are waiting on the edge of your seat!
